  • Patent number: 11841181
    Abstract: An ice maker for a household refrigeration apparatus includes a housing with an opening through which ice is dispensable from an interior of the housing out of the housing. A crushing device for crushing ice is provided at the opening. A flap is movably disposed at the opening and switchable between a closed position for dispensing crushed ice and an opened position for dispensing uncrushed ice through the opening. A drive unit is coupled to the flap by a coupling device for moving the flap. The flap has a pivot axis about which the flap pivots and a first flap arm coupled to the coupling device and a second flap arm movable relative to the opening, extend radially away from the pivot axis. A household refrigeration apparatus includes an apparatus housing having a receiving space for food, and an ice maker.

  • Patent number: 11761700
    Abstract: A household refrigeration apparatus includes an interior container having a first wall, a second wall, and a rear wall angled to each other. The interior container bounds a first receiving space for food. An ice maker has a housing, and the housing is formed by a wall area of the first wall of the interior container and a wall area of the second wall of the interior container in certain areas. The housing bounds a receiving space of the ice maker. The housing has a wall unit with a wall element being a component separate from the interior container and having an L-shape in cross-section. The wall element has a first wall plate and a second wall plate, which together form the L-shape. An elongated seal with a hollow portion is disposed on an edge of the wall element and seals the wall element to the interior container.
